WHY TORMEK

10 REASONS TO OWN A TORMEK

3Call free 0800 371822 • Order online axminster.co.uk

Is it the unique qualities of the Tormek grindstone, the maintenance free workhorse of a motor, the quiet operation or the versatility which makes you capable of sharpening virtually any hand tool?These are all important reasons why Tormek has earned the confidence of buyers and the media alike. But perhaps the most important reason for owning a Tormek is for the way it improves your work. Many new Tormek users are surprised to see the difference they get in results when using a well sharpened and honed water cooled edge. Others appreciate the amount of time they save to get to the desired sharpness, simply by letting the motor do the job and saving your wrists and shoulders.

Regardless of whether you are a professional craftsman or a hobbyist, what we find that Tormek users have in common is a

dedication to their work along with the knowledge that having sharp tools is a key factor to obtain the desired result, whatever size of the project. Water cooled sharpening is gentle, yet highly effective at keeping the edge in perfect shape. The system is easy to use and the result will inspire confidence.

For the keen hobby user, there is no better feeling than the confidence of knowing that what- and whenever a sharpening need will occurs, you will be able to fix it straightaway without interrupting your work.

1. Sharpen all your edge tools

With the wide range of unique and patented Tormek jigs, you can sharpen practically any type of edge tool. Tormek is dedicated to developing water-cooled sharpening through innovative solutions!

2. Exact replication

The key word when sharpening with Tormek is repeatability. You can shape the tool exactly to your needs. Even complicated shapes such as fingernail turning gouges, spoon carving gouges and oval skew chisels with a radiused edge are easily sharpened.

3. Cleanest edges

You finish the sharpening process by honing and polishing the edge on the leather honing wheel for a razor sharp edge.

4. Fast sharpening

Once the shape is created, you remove only a fraction of the steel when re-sharpening, which makes it a quick job.

5. Full control

At the low speed, you have full control of the sharpening and remove no more steel than necessary. An extra benefit is that your tools last longer.

6. No risk of overheating

There is no risk that the edge becomes overheated and loses its hardness.

7. Powerful motor and unique gear system

The industrial-strength Tormek motor maintains an ideal stone rpm, regardless of load. The reliable self-adjusting gear design ensures you always get the right torque, without excessive force and wear to the system.

8. Efficient grindstone

The unique composition of the Tormek grindstone has been thoroughly tested to offer the best combination of efficient steel removal, smooth surface finish and long life. There is no need to change discs or belts. In addition, the stone can be dressed with the Stone Grader SP-650 to give you two different cutting actions, all in one stone!

9. Safe and quiet

Worn steel particles are deposited into the water trough, keeping the air clear of grinding dust. No sparks are produced that can be a fire hazard in workshops with a lot of wood dust. You will also find that the Tormek runs surprisingly quietly.

10. Quality and performance

The Tormek is the original, water cooled sharpening system. For more than 40 years Tormek has been used in workshops around the world, and in the process has earned a reputation for versatility and dependability. Buying a Tormek machine is a safe investment in quality and performance with a 7- year warranty.

Model T-4Power 120WWheel Width 40mmOverall L x W x H 230 x 200 x 260mmWeight 9.8kg

The Tormek T-4 has some innovative features. Firstly, the zinc cast top incorporates the key components of the main shaft, Universal Support and motor assembly resulting in superb accuracy as standard. Secondly, two sleeves in the zinc cast top hold the Universal Support, meaning that the improved locking design and tighter tolerances will give even better results. Both features give improved accuracy and precision for easy sharpening on the new Tormek T-4. The T-4 uses a powerful, industrial AC motor and the shaft supporting the wheels is corrosion resistant stainless steel. The 200mm(8”) diameter stone has the Tormek EzyLock mounting system for fast stone changes without a spanner. For complete safety the unit has an NVR switch.

The T-4 model is the latest incarnation in a long line of Tormek water-cooled grinding systems. In common with its larger sibling, the T-7, it is ideal for sharpening cabinetmaking hand tools, knives, scissors and woodcarving and turning tools. It comes supplied with two useful accessories. The SP-650 Stone Grader keeps the stone cutting efficiently as well as changing the surface from a (220g) coarse cut to (1,000g) fine. Using the leather wheel charged with honing compound give you the equivalent of a 6,000g finish for a finely polished edge. The second accessory is the AngleMaster, an adjustable device used to set the correct angle for grinding plane and chisel blades. Magnets on the reverse side

of the AngleMaster mean that it is easy to store it conveniently on the steel machine plate. The machine also includes the unique Tormek Handbook, where all the information that is required to shape, sharpen and hone your tools to perfection can be found. Supplied with the SP-650 Stone Grader, unique Tormek Handbook and DVD together with Tormek’s 7 year warranty.

Apart from the above mentioned accessories, the machine comes without jigs. So, for instant sharpening, a jig of choice needs to be purchased from the many available, all of which will fit the Tormek T-4.

TORMEK T-8 SHARPENING SYSTEM

5Call free 0800 371822 • Order online axminster.co.uk

The Tormek T-8 sharpening system is the perfect answer to your sharpening requirements. For any professional or amateur needing a versatile, reliable and repeatable sharpening system, the T-8 should be on the top of your list. The T-8 has a 250mm x 50mm water-cooled grindstone and a 220mm x 31mm leather tyred honing wheel.

Powered by a quiet 200W motor, Tormek’s unique and efficient drive system maintains constant speed, even under load. Tools can be sharpened with the Supergrind wheel cutting towards or away from the edge. The T-8 features a strong, cast-alloy casing. The mounting sleeves for the universal support are an integral part of the casting. The design eliminates the possibility of any misalignment between the universal support and the grinding wheel. The universal support bar has a micro-adjuster, which makes setting up or replicating a sharpening angle easy and highly accurate.

The Advanced Water Trough features a screw lift mechanism. You can fit it, fill it and then by simply turning the knob, raise the trough to bring the water into contact with the stone. It makes removing the trough for emptying just as simple. The T-8 includes a magnetic scraper for efficient cleaning. The unit has an NVR safety switch with a strong waterproof cover. The T-8 is suitable for use in education and other areas where an NVR switch is a necessity. The T-8 includes TT-50 Truing and Dressing Tool, SP-650 Stone Grader, WM-200 Angle Setting Guide, PA-70 Honing Paste and Dressing Oil for the honing wheel. In addition, there is a comprehensive handbook and Tormek DVD all packed in a strong storage tray.

The T-8 also includes the SE-77 upgraded jig for square edge tools. Its design has a movable side and fine adjustment. This ensures a precise 90° angle between your blade’s edge and side. It also offers the possibility to create a slightly cambered edge. The Tormek wet-grinding method leaves a polished, burr-free edge without overheating the tool. Wet grinding significantly extends the life of your tools; it removes less material without affecting the temper of the steel.

TORMEK SHARPENING JIGS

Now with a slightly thinner grip which enables you to sharpen smaller knives without the jig touching the stone.

The jaws of the clamp adjust to suit different thicknesses of blade. Restore the blade to its original edge angle or choose the angle you prefer.

The jig rests freely onto the Universal Support so you can follow the curve of the blade and get an even bevel. The edge angle can be fine tuned by turning the handle. Use SVM-45 for ordinary and smaller knives with blade lengths between 70mm to 150mm.

SVM-45 Knife Jig code: 910089

This knife jig is developed especially for long (chef’s knives) or flexible knives (filleting knives).

Its broad clamping area, 140mm (5.1/2”), stabilises a thin blade but is also suitable to use for knives with longer blades, from 160mm (6.1/4”).

SVM-140 Knife Jig code: 702085

The patented SE-77 is the latest upgraded version of the original Tormek jig. For plane irons and wood chisels, its unique design makes mounting the tool squarely in the jig foolproof.

Two small knobs on one side of the jig allow you to fine-tune the jig for a precise result and achieve a perfect 90°. These adjusting knobs also allow you to put a controlled camber on a hand plane blade. The jig’s construction makes it possible to clamp and sharpen tapered chisels, for example Japanese chisels. A further enhancement is the moveable locking screw. This ensures the clamping pressure is even on both sides of your blade, guaranteeing greater stability and security when sharpening. Safety stops keep the jig securely on the Universal Support and prevent the tool from sliding off the grindstone. Max tool width 76mm(3”), max tool thickness 9.5mm3/8”).

SE-77 Square Edge Jig code: 102331

This holder works in conjunction with the SVM-45 Knife Jig. Your knife’s handle, rather than the blade, mounts in the SVM-00 holder. The SVM-00 then clamps into the SVM-45.

Using this system there is really no limit to how small a blade you can sharpen. The SVM-00 opens up the ability to work with complete control on a wide range of small knives. You can now sharpen knives of different shapes for whittling, chip carving and detail work. The SVM-00 can also handle narrow chef’s knives like boning or fish filleting knives. You can even sharpen small blades of folding knives with perfect control.

SVM-00 Small Knife Holder code: 504136

Simple to operate jigs for sharpening knives of various lengths. The opening of the clamp can be adjusted to suit different thicknesses of blade and the handle is used to finely adjust the grinding angle.

Once one side has been sharpened the jig can be flipped over to produce the same angle on the other side. The SVM-45 takes small knives down to a minimum of 70mm and the SVM-140, which has a longer clamping capacity, takes knives either with longer blades (over 120mm) or very thin blades (such as filleting knives). Can also be used for electric hand planer knives.

SVM Knife Jigs code: 910088

This is a very comprehensive jig which can be used equally well for turning and carving tools.

There are two holders provided, one for turners’ skew chisels, either oval or square section, from 13mm to 35mm wide, and the other for carvers’ skew chisels, parting tools, roughing gouges and wide carving gouges up to 50mm wide. Great for replication of the shape on turning skew chisels with a straight or curved edge.

SVS-50 Multi-Jig code: 910091

A jig from Tormek for all sizes of scissors, you can even sharpen garden shears.

Two clamps hold the blade securely.

SVX-150 Scissor Jig code: 910092

Choice of feeding speed determines the stone character. A faster speed causes the stone to grind faster.

Use approx 90 seconds across the stone. If you feed faster, you can create a rougher surface which grinds more quickly.

Precise setting of cutting depth with Micro Adjust.

The Tormek SVD-186 can also handle most carving gouges up to 36mm wide, carving vee tools and multi-tip scraper blades with mounting holes from 5mm to 8mm diameter. The SVD-186 and Tormek wetstone machine combination offers three crucial benefits. The water cooled wheel results in a superior edge, longer lasting and one that leaves a finer finish. The jig gives you full control over bevel angle and shape. The jig gives you exact repeatability next time you need to sharpen your tool. A curved clamping disc ensures correct seating of your tool in the tool holder. The angle setting has a precise click feature making initial jig set-up easy. The SVD-186 fits all Tormek machines.
